Build a problem, insight, recommendation storyline
Structures a presentation around the problem, the insight that explains it, and a recommendation with the decision needed.
The prompt
Build a problem, insight, recommendation storyline for my presentation.
The problem as I see it: [WHAT is going wrong or at risk, with numbers if I have them]
What I've learned: [PASTE findings, analysis, root causes, customer feedback]
My recommendation (if I have one): [WHAT, or "help me get there"]
Audience: [WHO, and how aware they are of the problem]
Time slot: [MINUTES]
Structure:
1. Problem: make it concrete and costly. State its impact (money, customers, time, risk) and who feels it. If the audience doesn't yet accept there's a problem, add the evidence that convinces them.
2. Insight: the non-obvious reason behind the problem - the "aha" that reframes it. Test it: is it supported by my findings, and does it explain the problem better than the obvious answer? If my findings don't support a real insight, say so.
3. Recommendation: what to do, which follows directly from the insight. Include options considered, cost, timeline, risks, and how we'll know it worked.
4. Ask: the decision needed and by when.
Return:
1. The whole story in 3 sentences (problem, insight, recommendation).
2. A slide-by-slide outline with full-sentence headlines and the evidence for each.
3. The weakest link in the logic and how to strengthen it.
4. Anything I'm asserting without evidence, marked [NEED EVIDENCE].
The recommendation is mine to own; present options honestly rather than only the one I prefer.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
